  • COLUMN: Recap: 2013 session ends

    The final two days of the 2013 session of the Kentucky General Assembly were filled with a mix of emotions ranging from frustration to exhilaration. The Republican Caucus began at 10 a.m. with a meeting to discuss the proposed changes to the Kentucky public employee pension systems; we moved quickly to the floor of the House at noon and found ourselves in recess shortly before 2 p.m. The recess would last late into the evening, little action was taken and day one ended in deep frustration the issue that had overshadowed the session would remain unresolved.

  • COLUMN: Ready for spring? Most of us are

    No one is indifferent to spring — at least that’s what our poll results from last week would indicate.
    While an overwhelming majority said they’re ready for sunshine and warmer weather, I’m actually surprised a whopping 12 percent of voters said they prefer the colder weather.
    Driving to work on Monday, I laughed aloud listening to radio advertisements, which had clearly been placed well ahead of time. “Spring has sprung,” they said. “It’s getting warmer,” another chimed.

  • COLUMN: Winter hangs around, but spring cleanup is coming

    The groundhog lied.
    This comment has been repeated several times the past few weeks due to the adverse weather we have had. We are much better off than our northern neighbors, but cold is still cold, especially with the wind we have had.
    That said, signups for the Spring Roadside Litter Abatement Program began Monday. Come to 220 Main Cross Street and we will assign roads and supply bags, gloves, vests and advice in equal amounts.

  • LETTER: Don’t be concerned with earthly inheritance

    I have heard many people say, “I will never inherit anything, because all my people are poor.” The way I look at this, it makes no difference what we have on earth, we can still be very rich and inherit much more than what is on Earth.
    It is very simple to do. Accept Jesus Christ as your savior and become a child of God. At the time you accept Jesus, God adopts you into his family and we become the children of God and become brothers and sisters to Jesus Christ.

  • LETTER: Thanks to Chief Lewis, Class D felon program

    It is with great appreciation that I thank Taylorsville Police Chief Toby Lewis for his initiating and completing two large cleanup projects for Spencer County Public Schools. The first was the ditch line at Taylorsville Elementary School across from the public library. The second area is the hillside at Hillview Academy.
